Hey girls hope you all had a lovely Christmas soooo sick of leftovers lol !
MIL got us a smoothie maker for Christmas with lots of lovely supplement powder to add to them like maca and all sorts that I can say or spell but I've read are fab so ready to crack on with those on the 1st X

That sounds great Sarah, I have a juicer but it has about 10 parts to it and makes it a pain to clean and you have to use so much fruit just to get one glass of juice. I have thought about buying one of those small juicers/blenders, magic bullet (sound dodgy that one ) or the nutri ninja. I find it hard to get enough fruit and veg a day in to my diet xx

 

[stacesl3]

Hi ladies, hope you are all doing well, not been on for a while trying to chilla bit more this month and not stress about ttc. CD12 for me, got a strong line on opk earlier, although don't think i will get to dtd today did it yesterday so that might have to do. Feeling a bit blah atm, been sniffly and sneezin, sore throat so not really in the mood for any rumpy pumpy anyway lol.

Anyone have plans for nye? I hate new year so will be just staying in with a dvd....i sound like a right misery haha x

 

[Dee28]

Oh I hate nye too so just me and hubby snuggled on the sofa is fine with me! X

 

[millielaura]

I'm also just having a chilled night in for NYE! Xx

 

[millielaura]

Does anyone else feel ttc has taken over their relationship? This time last year we were so excited to start a family and so in love whereas this year is filled with doubts etc. Fed up of hearing everything happens for a reason as it makes me think well whats the reason, is it a warning, why cant we have a child together, are we not meant to be together? Etc etc. I hate it feels like we arn't getting a chance to express our love by having a family . I feel is this one year gonna turn into two, then three then four and so on. Then what if I have more m/c's whats that gonna do to us. I do feel terrible I just feel like all I want from OH at the moment is a child and I feel he'l be less attracted to me than other women who can bear children like I'm broken or something. If this is after 1 year then how much worse does it get?
Does anyone else feel like this? Xxx

 

[Dee28]

Oh I'm so sorry you're feeling crappy, big big hugs. I really feel that this time of year is terrible for making us feel hopeless, it's natural to look back and feel so bloody disheartened to still be in the same situation as the year before. I know I do, I've felt very low this Christmas, as I remember feeling last year too. Can you talk to your OH about your worries? As long as you're both on the same page this won't drive you apart, it can only make you a stronger couple. The only time I've felt like my marriage may be in trouble is when my hubby refused to have, or even discuss having, another child. Even though we've now been ttc this baby for over 2 years I feel we're in it together and I love him more than ever for being in it with me. I hope a bit of new year hope kicks in for you honey, maybe plan a fab holiday or something else to take the focus off ttc, it's hard when it consumes everything, I totally feel that too xx

 

[snowbee]

Sorry you are feeling down millielaura. We haven't let ttc take over our relationship but it does affect it, mainly the worry it won't happen and that we are old etc. I've had the panic that the problems we have are mine, so worried he would leave for someone who could have children with no issues but I know I'm being silly and he loves me anyway. He certainly didn't think we would still be trying for number one this far on and it has been a shock for him to realise that it doesn't just happen like that.

CD49 and BFN for me this morning, not told oh I tested and will wait until Friday now when I think AF may be due going by possible ov pains. Still no pos opk so could be a hopeless cause this cycle. MC due date is Jan not looking forward to it and still not being pg. Why won't my stupid body work.

 

[millielaura]

Thanks girls glad to know I'm not alone. We're going to Venice at the end of Jan so I'm looking forward to that, will be a nice break away will be around ov. Just wish I was away during this last week of ttw as thats wjen it really gets me.
Hope AF has stayed away for you snowbee?
BFN for me.at 11dpo today, don't know why I test!
My first mc due date from mc i had over 3 years ago is on 8th Jan so know how you feel snowbee xxxx big hugs.
Feel crap about it as wasn'teven trying for that pregnancy so why is it so hard now to think I could have an almost 3 year old now and yet here I am not even able to keep another pregnancy again.
Sorry I'm a right debbie downer for this thread haha this is only 13th month trying and I bet everyone whos been trying 2 or 3 years plus wants me to stop complaining haha.
I defo wasnt cut out for this ttc business though im terrible, it makes my anxiety so bad and I get really obsessed with it all. It has my health anxiety on beyond overdrive too trying to overanalyse everything thats going on in my body! Xxx

 

[snowbee]

Venice sounds great, I hope you have a great holiday.

Poop for the BFN, still at 11dpo you are still in so fx for you. No Af but I've not bothered testing. I'm still doing opks as I've not had a positive and I'm not sure about ov, as they aren't dark I've not bothered with the pg test. Last time I had a pos pg test my ov test was insanely dark too. CD51 now, not had a cycle this long for ages so no idea what is going on.

 

[millielaura]

AF here at 12dpo grr xx

 

[millielaura]

Has anyone taken soy iso before? Xxx
